 OPTION 1: ALL CYGWIN ALL THE TIME 
 
-If you are building on Windows, then the easy way is to install cygwin and
-use cygwin version of Python and the cygwin versions of all dependencies
-(which will happen naturally if you follow the main README file -- note that
-you cannot use Windows-native versions of any of the dependencies -- they all
-have to be cygwin versions).  So if you are taking this approach then you

 OPTION 2: CYGWIN TOOLS TO BUILD WINDOWS-NATIVE LIBRARIES
 
-The second-easiest way is to install cygwin and use cygwin development tools

-Python and the Windows-native versions of all of the dependencies.  If you
-create a distutils config file (as per
-http://docs.python.org/inst/config-syntax.html ) and put "compiler=mingw32"
-in it, then you can follow the rest of the main README file and the
-dependencies will all be automatically built (by the cygwin gcc compiler) as
-Windows-native libraries.  This README.win32 file contains some extra notes

 OPTION 3: OTHER BUILD TOOLS
 
-The third-easiest way is to use a Microsoft compiler or some other compiler.

-for now, but please feel free to contribute a document which explains how to
